SpainWhatever, let's keep NG Coop Amateur because this is starting to look like the rest of the RE community with this endless discussion EleGiggle
Cyberdemon you're literally yelling at the clouds here. There's no recent runs of NG Coop Amateur (the most recent one is one by 2 people that agrees with the changes) and being "misc" does not automatically render them irrelevant. We just want to keep the clutter minimum.
Slight color mods for the outfits are ok but I'm guessing it's best to not use them for serious runs. Rest assured that a WR run would probably be rejected if it's using any form of modification, even something that's just visual.
I propose keeping NG Solo Amateur and Coop Veteran for competition.
Has anyone completed a NG Veteran run so we can compare how much longer is than NG Amateur/Normal?
NG Veteran is all about routing and the inevitable RNG too, and an alternative to NG+ which is the main attraction of speedrunning this. NG Amateur is routing and being faster because everything is weaker but why you would tryhard doing easy mode New Game having NG+ for that? Just my opinion.
If you can read at what framerate the menus run in PS1 maybe we can know. But I'm guessing 60fps menus and doors are doing something with the IGT of this version. Full 30fps lock with Bandicam seemed to be "okay" regarding the IGT/RTA time match.
Other than these IGT issues, the patch is great to finally run the game in hardware mode and windowed mode without issues and with the correct graphics.
Keep it like:
NG+ = Amateur
NG = Veteran
Add other difficulties to Misc.
NG in Amateur is nonsensical and offers little challenge imo.
Tested the 1.4 patch.
The IGT is indeed off (almost 1 minute ahead of real time) :/
I noticed that the cutscenes still desync in some places, and the 60fps menu/doors feel weird (as if it's messing with the IGT). I only clicked out of the game after the IGT usually stops (the ingame fade out before the final cutscenes).
I don't know what to think :/
I still need to try the last patch but I think hardware mode would be the ideal way to play if it sticks to 30fps (without the bad/low/weird graphical effects of software mode)
That video is done with software windowed mode, right?
Kinda sad how fast they can reject a game just because "it's not popular enough" aka "it's not gonna make extra donations" :/
Can you do some videos of the patch in action? So we can see how exactly runs on your end before we can tell it's running the same way for all (which is what we want).
Looking forward to see if you manage to achieve locked 30fps gameplay in the next patch.
In order to not get paranoid, it would be better to just play with the default skins.
I really appreciate the work Roofress is doing with the emulator research, but again I'm afraid there will be few people actually running Dolphin after all.
There's no category yet, but you people could start to do runs to test the stability. Again, no category in here is translated into "do NOT run that version/mode of the game at all". I run PS3 from time to time even knowing it's not a popular way to play the RE1-3 games, but hell I don't care, sometimes I just want to run weird slow versions to remember how strange this game feels just by noticing different loading times.
I wish we could migrate all the RE boards into a single merged Full Game Leaderboard like, for example, the Code Veronica one so we could have literally every version possible there. PC will be the first version showing in that board? Sure, it makes sense, the game loads faster than on consoles, it's not the player's fault! So if you start to get used to the drop down menus to select X platform I think EVERYONE would be happy that way.
If PE2 had an IGT it would be a problem of course, but I think the game just loads really fast for everyone using ePSXe with any configuration.
My point is that when you emulate you're trying to achieve the best loading times possible too. This is no N64 or a cartridge based console, so let's say you're running the game off a CD on your PC, even with a 1:1 PSX emulator it would not be a fair choice vs actual console IMO.
